Hugh Laurie of 'House' and his Copper Bottom Band to perform at Calvin Theatre

Hugh Laurie, best known as the star of TV's medical drama "House," will show off his musical talents at the Calvin Theatre in Northampton this fall.

Laurie and the Copper Bottom Band will perform on Sunday, Oct. 27, at 8 p.m.

Tickets – priced at $55, $45 and $35 – go on sale Friday at the Northampton Box Office at 76 Main St., by calling (413) 586-8686 or online at IHEG.com.

After the success of his debut album "Let Them Talk"on which Laurie celebrated New Orleans blues, his second album "Didn’t It Rain" follows the trajectory of the blues upstream and into the American heartland. It includes songs dating back to early pioneers W.C. Handy and Jelly Roll Morton and more recent artists such as Dr. John.

“I have resolved to forge on, deeper into the forest of American music that has enchanted me since I was a small boy,” Laurie said in a news release. “And the further I go, the more bewitched I become.”
